IV ESTIMATES OF GAINS AND LOSSES FOR RESERVOIRS ON THE SNAKE RIVER FROM BLACKFOOT TO MILNER, IDAHO, FOR SELECTED PERIODS, 1912 TO 1983 By L.C. Kjelstrom ABSTRACT Croplands in the semiarid central part of the Snake River Plain are dependent on the availability of irrigation water, most of which comes from the Snake River. Allocation of irrigation water from the river requires that gains and losses be determined for American Falls Reservoir, Lake Walcott, and Milner Lake. From 1912 to 1983, average ungaged inflow to American Falls Reservoir, determined from monthly water budgets, was 2,690 cubic feet per second. About 94 percent of this inflow was spring discharge and ground-water seepage; the remainder was from small tributaries and irrigation-return flow. Ungaged inflow estimated from water budgets for various periods correlated favorably with measured discharge of two springs and water levels in two wells. Discharge of Spring Creek was a better indicator of ungaged inflow than ground-water levels. Therefore, correlation with Spring Creek discharge was used in estimating ungaged inflow to American Falls Reservoir in 1983. Daily water-budget calculations of ungaged inflow to American Falls Reservoir are less variable when storage changes are determined by using three stage-recording stations rather than one. Water budgets do not indicate large amounts of leakage from American Falls Reservoir, but small amounts of leakage are indicated because flow in downstream springs increased about 25 percent after reservoir storage began in 1926. Water budgets for Lake Walcott and Milner Lake show average annual net gains (1951-83) to Lake Walcott and Milner Lake of 245 and 290 cubic feet per second. These amounts are verified by (1) monthly water budgets when discharge in the Snake River is low, and (2) measured and estimated sources of inflow. Gains and losses estimated from daily water budgets are variable, owing to inadequate determination of (1) changes in reservoir storage, (2) streamflow, (3) lake-surface precipitation, and (4) lake- surface evaporation. Backwater effects are accounted for in the process used to determine storage in Milner Lake. INTRODUCTION The economy of the semiarid Snake River Plain, southern Idaho, relies heavily on irrigated agriculture. American Falls Reservoir, Lake Walcott, and Milner Lake (fig. 1) supply irrigation water to the central area of the plain. Diversions are made to fulfill established water rights on natural streamflow (without regulation or diversion) and reservoir storage. To determine the amount to be diverted, which depends on the amount available, water managers use water budgets to compute gains to and losses from the Snake River between U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations near Blackfoot and at Neeley (above and below American Falls Reservoir), at Neeley and near Minidoka (above and below Lake Walcott),

    Historical Development of Durable Concrete for the Bureau of Reclamation Timothy P. Dolen Research Civil Engineer - Senior Technical Specialist Materials Engineering and Research Laboratory Technical Service Center - Denver, Colorado Introduction The Bureau of Reclamation infrastructure stretches across many different climates and environments in the seventeen western states. Many of the dams, spillways, pumping plants, power plants, canals, and tunnels are constructed with concrete. These structures were built from Arizona to Montana, across the plains and in the mountains and deserts. Concrete structures had to remain durable to resist both the design loads and the natural environments of the western climate zones. Many natural environments can be quite destructive to concrete and the earliest Reclamation projects were faced with a variety of durability problems. The state-of-the-art of concrete construction advanced from hand mixing and horse and wagon transporting operations to automated mixing plants, underwater canal construction, and pumping and conveyor placing. This paper first overviews the challenges facing concrete construction in the beginning of the 20th Century. It then traces the Bureau of Reclamation’s role in the development of durable concrete to resist the environments of the west. What is Concrete? Before we begin, we must first understand what is concrete, the most versatile building material. The American Concrete Institute defines concrete as “a composite material that consists essentially of a binding medium within which are embedded particles or fragments of aggregate, usually a combination of fine aggregate and coarse aggregate; in portland-cement concrete, the binder is a mixture of portland cement and water.”1 The earliest concretes date at least as far back as early Roman times including the aqueducts and the historic Pantheon in Rome.

  • Early Irrigation in the Boise Valley By, Paul L. Murphy Source
    Early Irrigation in the Boise Valley By, Paul L. Murphy Source: Pacific Northwest Quarterly, XLIV (October, 1935), 177-184. Agriculture is the dominant feature of Idaho's economy and the major portion of Idaho's agricultural development is predicated upon irrigation. The early pioneering efforts, ambitious as they were, merely opened the door to the vast projects that followed. The difficulties faced and overcome by the early developers were legion: eastern capital had to be enlisted and fluctuations in the money market compounded this problem; the problems of trial-and-error methods in actual construction while the engineering science developed; increasing operational expenses; inadequate legislative statutes to determine the rights and use of the water and the ensuing litigation in the courts all hampered development. The story of how these problems were solved in the early development of irrigation in the Boise Valley is told in the following informative article by Professor Paul L. Murphy. Those interested in further reading will find considerable material available. A classic study is William E. Smythe, The Conquest of Arid America (1899, 1905; reprint ed., Seattle, 1969). George Thomas, Early Irrigation in the Western States (Salt lake City, 1948), is valuable. Mikel H. Williams, The History 6f Development and Current Status of the Carey Act in Idaho (Boise, 1970), is informative. Students should consult the Biennial Report of the Department of Reclamation to the Governor of Idaho, beginning in 1919-1920. A valuable survey of Idaho irrigation is in "Mineral and Water Resources of Idaho," a report prepared by the United States Geological Survey (Washington: 1964).

    Finding of No Significant Impact Final Environmental Assessment Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Spillway and Dam Structures at American Falls Dam, Minidoka Project, Power County, Idaho U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Pacific Northwest Region Snake River Area Office PN FONSI # 19-4 Introduction The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has prepared this Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to comply with the Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This document briefly describes the proposed action, other alternatives considered, the scoping process, Reclamation’s consultation and coordination activities, mitigation, and Reclamation’s finding. The Final Environmental Assessment (EA) fully documents the analyses of the potential environmental effects of implementing the changes proposed. Location and Background The Minidoka Project (Project) was authorized by the Secretary of the Interior in 1904 and was the first Reclamation project constructed in Idaho. It is located in the Snake River Basin in the southeastern part of the state. American Falls Dam, completed in 1927, is a 94-foot-high composite concrete and earth gravity-type dam on river mile 714.7 of the Snake River near American Falls, Idaho. With a storage capacity of 1,700,000 acre-feet, American Falls Reservoir is the largest reservoir of the Project. The dam itself is located in Power County, Idaho, but the reservoir stretches northeast into both Bingham and Bannock Counties. American Falls Dam and Reservoir comprise a multi-purpose facility from which principle benefits include irrigation, power generation (through a powerplant owned and operated by Idaho Power), flood control, fish and wildlife resources, and recreation.

A J. Wiley, a brilliant western irrigation engineer and an. early assistant of engineer Arthur D. Foote, designed the project. The dam was built to supply power for the operation of gold mines in Silver City, Idaho, which has long previously run out of wood for fuel. It soon supplied power for Silver City, Nampa, Caldwell, and other Idaho towns. The Idaho Power Company, which acquired the dam in 1916 during a major consolidation of southern Idaho power companies in receivership, expanded the capacity of the dam and added new equipment in two phases.
